Hit up the best bars in San Francisco, all offering special deals just for crawl-goers.

San Francisco knows how to throw a party, and the Barbie Crawl is one of the city’s most exciting events. The Malibu Beach Party theme will transport you straight to Barbie’s world of surf, sun, and fun. Bars like Jaxson will be completely transformed into a Malibu Barbie paradise, complete with palm trees, surf decor, and lots of beachy details. Over at Union Street Ale House, you’ll find Ken’s Wave Rider Tavern, bringing a laid-back surfer vibe. And for something even more playful, Rick & Roxy’s will turn into Disco Barbie’s Dance Hall, where glitter balls and groovy tunes take center stage.

Not only will the bars be decked out, but you’ll also enjoy some live DJs spinning tunes throughout the night, making sure there’s never a dull moment. Some bars will be all about dancing, while others will have a more relaxed vibe, so you can mix it up depending on your mood.
